How implementing a trust fabric strengthens identity and network
Ensuring that only authorized end users and applications can access your enterprise data is fundamental to strong IT security. But traditional identity access management (IAM) security comes with multiple challenges, including the rise of AI deepfakes and other AI-enabled threats. In this article, Microsoft explains its zero-trust approach to security. Read the article for ideas on how you can deploy a zero-trust security strategy at your organization.
A trust fabric is a comprehensive approach that integrates identity, network access, and endpoint controls to secure digital interactions. It moves beyond traditional identity and access management by creating a unified system that evaluates the trustworthiness of both human and non-human identities in real-time. This approach is essential as organizations face increasing complexities in cyber threats and the need for secure access across various platforms.
Why is Zero Trust important?
Zero Trust is crucial as it shifts the focus of cybersecurity from static network perimeters to a more dynamic approach that emphasizes verifying users, assets, and resources. It is built on principles such as explicit verification, least-privileged access, and assuming breaches may occur. This model supports the development of a trust fabric by ensuring that access is continuously evaluated and secured, adapting to the evolving landscape of cyber threats.

We’re a Microsoft Cloud Solution Specialist providing IT services and licensing to businesses principally within the UK. Over the course of the last 20 or so years we’ve built a small business from scratch, having literally knocked doors to acquire early customers and working on referral ever since, to become what is today approximately 8 employees, with a solid recurring revenue and a modest profit, derived from around 150 customers. These customers are largely across multiple industries, however, we are particularly strong with the Accounting, Finance and Charitable sectors, but typically share one thing in common; being owner-managed. Those owner-managers benefit in various ways from either some or all of the following services owing to our long term experience and skillsets, in no particular order:
- IT Support under a sensible, working, Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Appropriate Microsoft Office 365 licensing
- IT Security solutions
- Connectivity
- Hosted Voice, Telephony & Mobile
- Professional Services
Each area typically requires a more detailed conversation in order it can be right-sized to suit your working practices and plans. At a glance, it is clear that you should consider reviewing your perimeter security and implementing something a little more appropriate than the existing device, given your shape and size. We're happy to give you some time on the subject to help you gain an understanding and put you in a better position to make a choice, just drop us a line and we can organise something to suit…
